Hello everyone!

Its been far too long. Haven't been on here for a while so decided to come back and say hello with a few pics of my watches and a little something else. Miss this forum, and the folks that make it great, it is simply an awesome place with wonderful people! My watch collection hasn't changed much yet but might near the end of the year. Ever since I came to Toronto from Calgary, been inundated with work and haven't had time to participate in the community. Hope I can change that going forward. Here are a few pics of my Breitlings and also of my new toy! Still loving Breitling!

All nice and welcome back.

Adrian van Hooydonk is certainly moving BMW into new territory after Chris Bangle, but if the formulae for the 3 series isn’t broke………... Very much a sculptured response and a great drive. New 6 Series looks the business too.

Paradoxically, I read somewhere that Hooydonk wears a Heuer Calculator as one of his favorite watches. :wink:

Wear your watches and drive your car in good health.

Thanks for the kind words my man. All I know is that I needed to get a piece of that naturally aspirated V8 motor before it became forced-induced and I am glad I did :drool: :bow: just have to watch out for the :popo: but f... it :nana:

Now on to watches...I am thinking of unloading my chrono superocean and superocean and getting a rolex sub. I will have only two watches then; the Navi and Rolex. I know that this is a very usual combo but lately I can't get three watches in a good rotation and one always stops and its really bothering me...I know, 1st world problems....

A watch winder could fix that three watch problem for you, but the Rolex is a nice contrast to the Navi. Your collection is like one of many put together when you were frequenting here, and I was just starting here. Those three are still a great set and the CSO seems overlooked for how great a piece it is. Whatever you choose, good luck

Hi Scott - sorry I forgot to mention I do have a 2-watch winder so perhaps getting a bigger one might also alleviate the issue. Totally with you on the CSO being overlooked. Just put it back on the pro II bracelet and am falling in love with it all over again.

Hey Fred! Likewise, its great to hear from you too and I am humbled you remembered about the Monty. Indeed, no Monty yet despite the fact its been on the radar for a while now. The Rolex bug might be getting me along with the fact I might want to go down to only two watches to keep things simple. Nevertheless, still keeping an open mind.
